The British Museum holds a large collection of drawings by Giulio Romano (1499-1546). More obviously than the drawings of many other Renaissance masters, these declare themselves as working documents, created to function for specific practical purposes. One of the luminaries of Raphael's large and famous workshop, Giulio supervised completion of several projects after Raphael's sudden death in 1520. Soon after, with the same collaborative model and some of the same artists, he was able to accept and fulfill large commissions in his own name.
